We've launched our report that delves into the latest data surrounding strangulation and suffocation cases recorded by police forces across England and Wales in the first year post-legislation (up to June 6th, 2023). Our comprehensive report sheds light on the prevalence of these offences, breaking down the numbers by police force area. An analysis of victim and suspect demographic details and a closer look at different relationship dynamics is also presented. With insights from 33 out of 43 police force areas, the report reveals the urgent need for enhanced data collection and awareness surrounding strangulation and suffocation cases. The true figures are likely higher, highlighting the importance of our ongoing efforts to address this critical issue. Read the full report to uncover the findings and join us in advocating for greater visibility and action on strangulation awareness: https://lnkd.in/ee-xTgAp #StrangulationAwareness #DataAnalysis #IFASReport

Just how disproportionately are racial and ethnic minorities impacted by the criminal justice system? Let’s start with looking at a visualization of official data, cold hard numbers, where this reverberating impact starts: arrests. Below, you’ll see the proportion of arrests in each US state grouped by race and ethnicity, compared to the proportion of each in the population of each state. (I made the points larger for mobile viewing, but every listed race/ethnicity for every state is included) Note: Contrary to popular belief, people arrested ARE innocent, until, and all to often despite, being “proven” guilty. I created this in RStudio, based on data released in July, this year. Data was obtained through ICPSR, from a report of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program, for the year 2021, and of course census data (tidycensus). Detailed citations are in the caption. I’m looking for sources of data related to sentencing outcomes with racial information, as well as parole granting vs denial with timeframes and racial information. If anyone has any leads for data like this, please let me know.

NBC7 solicited my input on traffic stops and racial bias. I am always thankful when the media provides the opportunity for context in response to allegations of racial bias. All too often, the reporting is one-sided and skewed. I contend that the current R.I.P.A. data collection process is flawed and does not take enough ancillary reasonable cause information into account. As I stated to this reporter, the percentages of racial group populations in comparison to the traffic stop frequencies will never align due to the different variables involved in each encounter. However, my sense is that the media and the R.I.P.A. Board will continue to perpetuate the racism in policing narrative going forward and use this data to lobby for more restrictive laws and policies for traffic/pedestrian stops. I did not offer an opinion about the particular traffic stop they highlighted in this story. As I told the reporter, my sense is there is more to the situation beyond the account provided by the aggrieved violator. The optics are not good, but all the facts must be evaluated before passing judgement about the decisions made by the officers. https://lnkd.in/gbg5fnxe

"Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics" - The new website, www.PoliceData.org, has all three. This website was created by Mapping Police Violence (MPV) which has a long history of anti-police rhetoric. I want to complement MPV for doing what the FBI has failed to do - create a national database on police use of force. While MPV gets an "A" for effort, they get an "F" for their shoddy analysis and an "F" for their lack of transparency. The public cannot download the raw data and so no independent analysis can be conducted. MPV has a form: https://lnkd.in/d67YPfrG to request the raw data but you must tell MPV why you want the data and how you intend to use it. UPDATE: MPV just contacted me to set up a meeting to discuss giving me access to the data. Media outlets gleefully post the MPV data and parrot the MPV findings without fact checking their sources. No independent party has audited MPV's database to determine if it is what MPV says it is. It is possible that the database provides an accurate picture of national use of force practices. It is also possible that this is a scam and the database was fabricated. The truth is likely somewhere in between, but we will never know how good the database is until MPV allows experts, researchers, and academics to access the raw data. MPV's analysis uses population benchmarks to rank agencies by per capita force rates. Here are the best and worst cities with a population over 400,000 (use of force rates per 1,000 residents): Highest 1️⃣ Arlington TX - 3.5 2️⃣ Austin TX - 2.8 3️⃣ Honolulu HI - 2.7 4️⃣ Minneapolis MN - 2.5 Lowest 👍 Sacramento CA - 0.1 👍 San Antonio TX - 0.3 👍 Louisville KY - 0.4 👍 Nashville TN - 0.4 According to MPV, the use of force rate in Minneapolis is six times higher than the rate in Louisville and yet the DOJ found a pattern-or-practice of excessive and unnecessary force in both cities. Sacramento's force rate is 35 times lower than Arlington's, but this is probably because Sacramento is not reporting on all the use of force incidents that Arlington does. MPV's goal is to mislead and misinform in order to achieve their political objectives. Don't take my word for it. Here is a quote from the MPV founder: “We have a relentless system that has been reproducing these extremely violent outcomes year after year...The overall goal of making communities safer from police violence has not been achieved.” If an agency does not collect use of force data or they refused to give it to MPV, then they are safe and they will not appear on the MPV website. Ironically these non-reporting agencies may be the most likely to have problems with their use of force practices. Minneapolis has given the public access to its use of force data for years: https://lnkd.in/dAbKvTvY MPV is now punishing Minneapolis for its transparency. #police #lawenforcement #policing #sheriff #policedepartment #policeofficer #data #datascience #dataanalysis #policereform #minneapolis #louisville https://lnkd.in/dPnmYgz7

The research misrepresents the data! We are not talking about who is "most likely to be killed by police". Quantifying the numbers in terms of who is "most likely", you are referring to ratios and probability. If you compare whole numbers (the number of white people compared to black people, more white people are killed by the police. The media lies and misrepresents the facts and numbers. Peace
The research is clear: White people are not more likely than Black people to be killed by police.

We still need your help! If your organization received an invite to complete the 2023 NCVSP, there is still time to complete it! Encourage your Organization this National Crime Victims' Rights Week to make sure you are counted in this Bureau of Justice Statistics census. The NCVSP is critical to understanding the current landscape of victim services across the country and providing national data on victim service provision and characteristics of victim service providers. By accurately gathering information on all provider organizations, we can identify gaps in services and funding needs for programs responding to the needs of crime victims and survivors in communities nationwide. https://lnkd.in/daBPeqfb

This is a game changing capability that we can make available to our #lawenforcement customers across #Australia and #NewZealand
This week, the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) published a statement which outlined the scale of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in England and Wales. With an estimated 1 in 12 women victims of violence every year, the size and complexity of the problem is growing – and the challenge facing police forces is significant. Understanding risk as early as possible in these circumstances is important, so that forces can work with partner agencies to implement preventative measures and focus on protecting victims before harm escalates. But with 3,000 offences reported each day, this is extremely difficult for resource-stretched forces. Technology can provide part of the answer here, enabling police forces to better analyse their ever-expanding and complex datasets and assess risk in a timely way, augmenting human decision making. We’ve been preoccupied with these data challenges within policing for a long time, which is why we created our Intelligence Lead Assessment Service (ILAS). Earlier this week, our Head of Futures Matt Boyd talked through ILAS and how it’s successfully being used within a number of police forces to support risk analysis. Watch the video 👇

Risk of Harm to the Missing. Missing persons’ reports need to be split into the demographic aspects of the person missing. Women aged 18-64 are at greatest risk of harm when missing, closely followed by men over 64. Missing juveniles’ risks are 4 times lower, and they have the overall lowest risk of harm.
